We occasionally see the mountains of the Lake District which are around 40 minutes car ride away but this morning they were very visible & looked so near!
Despite living quite near we rarely go, I have no idea why. Harry & I are not good at days out, we can never decide where to go, we aren’t used to having days off or there is grass to be cut, hopefully when we move & have less garden we will shape up & go places!
Three good things:
1. Our house buyers have signed the preliminary forms, came up from Cheshire especially!
2. Harry is minding a dog & a horse for two weeks! He has the vet number & next of kin....a big responsibility!
3. A BBQ smell is wafting over from somewhere!
Nice to see the view of where your adventures could take you when you have the time.. hope it all progresses.. A big responsibility when you get given the animsls next of kin!.. hope all goes well..
A lovely summer landscape - So Harry has his work cut -out for the next fortnight ! - some responsibility ! Your NO 1-- Keeping my fingers crossed for no hick-ups this time ! Is the bungalow you were interested in still on the market ? or will you be looking anew !!
Trying times for you. Staying positive whilst all gets resolved...goodness knows this isn’t new to you. However buy/seller roles are miroir images of the same deal. All will be resolved. Make haste....slowly ;-)
Oh! You have sold your B&B?! I missed that, congratulations! This is a lovely scene really. I’m sure you will miss it, but hopefully your new home will have lovely views as well.
It seems the countryside is all flat to the Lake District so nice to see the higher ground. We don't go much anywhere now - sold the camper van but really its far nicer at home! Hopefully you will have that pleasure too!
@thewatersphotos Well we sold the land & farm buildings around eight years ago Gary just keeping the farm house & a couple of acres of land. The house has seven bedrooms & five bathrooms altogether with the annexe which we used to let out. Far too big for us & we want easier living nearer the shops etc. We love it here & our neighbours so it’s been a hard decision but know it’s the right one. The hard thing will be finding something we like in the very limited area we want..all with a radius of a couple of miles & it has to have room for a tractor!
@sangwann We are so sad to leave here but it’s rather right decision we know...we are not moving further that a stones throw hopefully! We mustn’t rush into anything!
Wel we have been in this position twice before so not counting our chickens but hopefully third time lucky!
Yes perhaps we will learn how to spend time away from home more often!
Good luck with the house!
Your nr. 1 sounds promising...
I'm sure after years of dairy farming routines it's not easy to just spontaneously go out for the day!
Every time we went to the Lake District it rained ha ha. If you do get there take your umbrella just in case.
Thank you all....it’s a bit nerve wracking but we must follow through now!
